About

What makes Urban Landscapes and Blue/Green sensitive Architecture successful in today’s context of social challenges like mental health, depression, conflicts of generations and ethological groups but also in environmental topics like rapidly changing extreme weather conditions with increasing events of heavy precipitation and periods of heat and absolute droughts? Most cities are not prepared to stand storms and extreme weather conditions we are facing at present and even more in the future. With more density and the loss of nature, the intensity of superstorms, cloudbursts, the rise in sea-level, countered by heat waves and droughts will increase these challenges. It is a fact that climatic changes are speeding up and the impact on cities and urban regions and industries is getting more stressful we cannot deny. What are the instruments to make our cities more resilient and liveable? What perspectives and solutions do we have, and can we offer today and for future generations? It seems we have to be bolder and invent better environments for industrial sites, for circularity in production, for housing, mobility, and living. A central focus is water and green as most affected elements but also the possible medicine for cities and industrial sites as blue-green infrastructure. I will not end on a theoretical discourse but will share my practical experience and show proved examples from around the world with cases that work in reality like Potsdamer Platz Berlin, Cloudburst Resilient Copenhagen, ABC Program and Pilot Projects like Bishan Ang-Mo Kio Park, JTC Green Tech Park in Singapore, Tanner Springs in Portland Oregon, Cloudburst Resilient Design for Queens in New York City and others. In short, there are better solutions available and there is absolutely no time to waste by waiting for the next regulatory frame conditions. But how can Blue/Green resilient Architecture become more mainstream?
